Last week we recounted my epic ride on the mythical Slinky Dog. Today we’re going back to Toy Story Land, but with something otherworldly in mind. Tucked in the back corner, near the adorably-themed restrooms and a nice open area where we witnessed the Army Men going through a drum practice and a bit of boot camp, is a ride I didn’t know what to think about when I first heard about it. Could it be like Mad Tea Party just with saucers instead of teacups? Could it be like the Scrambler, for those Virginians who know what I’m talking about? Could it be a new version of a hoverboard-type ride a la Luigi? I didn’t know.

Now I do.

No to all of them. Read more

I have a piece of advice that always results in a confused look when talking to friends about their Disney vacation plans. When they say “but it’s so expensive,” I ask them how long they’re staying. I often end up suggesting that they stay longer in order to get a better deal.

I’ve been in a pretty contemplative mood recently. I’ve been thinking a lot about life, and about the world around us. I’ve come to a few realizations that have really sunken in as I’ve gotten older.

It’s a world of laughter.

It’s a world of tears.

It’s a world of hopes.

It’s a world of fears.

There’s so much that we share,

That it’s time we’re aware

It’s a small world after all. Read more

If there is one thing you will find an abundance of at Walt Disney World, it is souvenirs! You find them everywhere; as you walk down Main Street, at the end of every attraction or show, walking through the countries in EPCOT, seeing the animals in Animal Kingdom, etc. All you have to do is look around. It can be overwhelming in a hurry, especially for kids. Having a basic plan before arriving can help with both the spending as well as, believe it or not, your time. Because how much time on your vacation do you really want to devote to shopping? Here are a few things to consider before you arrive for your vacation. Read more

There’s nothing like Halloween at Disney World. I love Halloween no matter where I am, but there’s something extra special about this time of year in the Most Magical Place on Earth. If you’ve been with me for a while, you know it’s so special to me I spent my anniversary (the day before Halloween) in Disney a couple of years ago. There are many things about autumn in the parks that are indescribably wonderful, but one that never fails to give me chills is the special Halloween-themed fireworks at the Magic Kingdom. Read more
